It’s not always easy to listen to God’s whispers of guidance and have faith in the outcome. Our human nature causes us to question why and want to solve the problem our own way. When you are in need of His guidance, don’t rely solely on your own thinking. Pray for the clarity to hear and follow His will.

There is nothing to worry about. All you have to do is keep your eyes on Jesus. Just put one foot in front of the other and follow Him. There is no need to doubt or be discouraged. Trust Him.

When you hold onto God, He delivers you. He casts out the darkness with His brightness; He will transform your spirit. Praise Him for the miraculous work He is performing in your life.

You are a work in progress. Share with God that you strive to be like Him and to please Him in every aspect of your life. Read His Word and pour out your heart to Him. Be patient with yourself; your spiritual growth is a lifelong process.

Is something bothering you? Loosen your grip and know that He is with you now wanting to help. Open up and let Him in. Recognize that His ways may be beyond your understanding. Your relationship is based on loving faith.

God made you to be grateful—to have a heart that is filled with joy and not complaints. Focus your attention on the many things in your life to be thankful for right now. Praise God, the author of all good and perfect gifts, for all He has done for you.

This Scripture advises you to guard your mind by fixing your thoughts on things worthy of your time. Whenever an undesirable thought or temptation enters your mind, use this verse to think about Jesus and that He is true, honorable, just, pure and lovely.

Helen Keller wrote, “Believe, when you are most unhappy, that there is something for you to do in the world. So long as you can sweeten another’s pain, life is not in vain.” When you are suffering, allow Jesus to comfort you so that you may extend His comfort to others.

Thank God for always hearing your prayers, for being there and always listening to your needs. Praise Him for the many ways He has brought you comfort, blessings and encouragement. Praise Him for His greatness!

James and John were humiliated and angry when they asked for God to call the fire down. Revenge is not the answer. When you are upset, feeling hurt and rejected, ask God to heal your pain and change your focus to love and compassion.

Obstacles and problems help shape your faith, define your character and give you the opportunity to rise to life’s challenges with strength. Fight the urge to worry about tomorrow. Instead, focus on today and what you can do right now.
